Do you
have an old telephone that doesn't work?
Is your
heirloom telephone missing some parts? Would you like to begin using
your collectible telephone in your home or office? Telephone repair
service is the fastest growing part of the
LoweTechPhones business.
What Makes These Old Phones
Fail? We've had literally hundreds of telephones through
the LoweTechPhones shop, and we've learned that
the mortal enemies of old telephones are fire,
water and insects. Lately, we've also seen our share of
shoddy repairs that cause intermittent service
and noisy lines. The Western Electric 302 telephone
(above) arrived in our shop with considerable bug and moisture
damage. The owner is now thrilled to have his phone back and in
excellent, working condition! Click here for more samples of hidden
damage.
 Our Repair Services: We offer repair services
for most collectible American and foreign telephones. Before we
return it to our customers, we inspect, clean, replace bad
components, repair, adjust, and polish the telephone
to assure long reliable service. Click here to review our

Original vs. Reproduction
Parts: LoweTechPhones are repaired using original
components when possible or unless noted. We go out of our way to
retain original components, but when necessary, we select quality
reproduction parts.

Telephones repaired, restored and found by LoweTech Phones all

Candlestick Telephones: Because many electrical
components on these telephones provide marginal (at best)
service, it is common for these components to be replaced with
quality replacement components. (Note: We prefer not to
convert wood wall telephones to work on the public telephone
network, but we will if that's what you want. Wood
refinishing is outsourced to a quality partner
vendor) |
